“The first time I read this I suddenly realized that parents have a whole life before children appear, and that they were real people. Naiive I know, but still this book reminds me that just because my parents continue to age they are still these remarkable people with a world of experiences I know nothing about. I won't wait for Alzheimer's to take their minds, I will find out their stories now.”

“I found this a number of years ago and fell in love with the characters and the frank way Ms. Niffenegger described Claire's life. Although they have made this into a movie I can't say I want to see it--I have my own movie in my head. I can't wait to read her next book!”

“Love the entire series, but in this book Harry and Hermione have to save his uncle and a very special hippogriff. It is the turning point in the story because Harry realizes he isn't alone. ”

“This author has the most delightfully wicked sense of adventure! His books are laugh-out-loud funny but he writes them with his tongue firmly in his cheek. I thought the situation with the monkeys was hysterical. Good hurricane season read!”
